Hi Prashanth,
Thanks for the post. I'll try to get that for my bike. Do you use the AP-ATX5L or the AP-ATX9 battery. If you use the 9AHr battery, do you use the original rectifier that came with the bike? I'm waiting for the ordered parts to arrive. Cheers.....

Sent an email to Yamaha Motor Company on January 30 enquiring the availability of some critical parts like piston - block kit, valve kit, chain - sproket set and carburator. Received an email and a telephone call today asserting that the parts are available in stock. Placed an order with the local dealer. Lets see when they arrive. Cheers......

Posting after a very long time.. Hope ya all enjoying your rides..

I own Gladiator DLX, Jan 2007 Registered, 38k Kms done.

I thought of selling my glady and getting a new one. But I am somehow sentimentally attached to it. Because its there with me in my ups and downs took me wherever I want in emergencies.. its like a close friend of me and I am very much attached to it.. (Sorry for boring story just wanted to express my feelings about my close buddy)..

I have decided not to move on and stick with my buddy.. Now I want your valuable suggestions to give my steed a new look..

Budget 10 to 15k...

Some modifications in my mind:

1. White and Black painting jobs.. (No Stickering work)
2. Yezdi round doom
3. 100/90 headlamps
4. some good horns..
5. No Saree guard..
6. Maintenance free drive chain
7. chain guard like in new gladiator.
8. Already have K&N installed, Have to get a box for that and have to set it up properly. (Right now it is tied with iron string)
9. RD Handle.

Let me know if anyone tried Round doom, 100/90, RD Handle and suggest if it is recommended.

Waiting eagerly for your suggestions..

Okay. Even i have been thinking of visiting ruby electricals from a long time now. But have always been in two minds. I asked about the recharging rate because in the light thread, people recommend a change to ape rectifier. Im sure ill be giving this mod a thought again. Realised yet again today that the headlight on the gladi is like holding a candle at speed. Hit a pothole hard on the highway.

Got my diaphragm changed and finally happy with my bike

. Mind blowing performance. Prashanth, ya people do recommend ape rectifier but Ruby guy has his own rectifier and its really good. All you need is to take your bike there and tell dc conversion. He ll do it for you.

Some modifications in my mind:

1. White and Black painting jobs.. (No Stickering work)- Might look nice. Depends on the design of the paintwork.
2. Yezdi round doom- I have seen a few gladis with it. Looks decent. Might give better throw of light.
3. 100/90 headlamps- I don think it will make any difference. Might drain ur battery.
4. some good horns- Well, this one is left to you. I mean depends on your use of the horn. Please don't get those irritating horns though
5. No Saree guard..- Easiest mod of the lot. Hardly a mod actually. Its just removing a part. Although, it does change the look from behind a bit.
6. Maintenance free drive chain- What exactly do u mean by this. Sorry for my ignorance.
7. chain guard like in new gladiator- If the routes you take aren't too dusty, then i would say it is okay. Otherwise the new chain guards are basically cost cutting for companies i think
8. Already have K&N installed, Have to get a box for that and have to set it up properly. (Right now it is tied with iron string)- Hope you have upjetted the carb properly, after installing the filter.
9. RD Handle- Good addition after getting the round doom.

Let me know if anyone tried Round doom, 100/90, RD Handle and suggest if it is recommended.

Waiting eagerly for your suggestions..

Suggestions in bold.

Hi,
I was wondering how long it takes to procure the spare parts from the compamy (YIMC). I placed an an order with the dealer for the above mentioned parts on 30/01/2012. I had sent an email to the customer service section regarding the availability of the above mentioned spare parts. Beleive me, I received an email within 24 hours confirming the availability. As it is a long time, I phoned the dealer to enquire if the parts have arrived. I was irritated to learn that the order was placed only on the 16/01/2012. This is the level of customer service I received as the bike is in a local workshop and not in an "authorised service center".
